The NSW needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default IP address is
DHC P C lie nt
. To find the DHCP-assigned IP address, you must use the NCC, the ZON utility, or the console
port.
The NSW is a Nebula cloud-managed (PoE) switch. It is managed and provisioned by the NCC (Nebula
Control Center) when it is connected to the Internet and registered with the NCC.

You can check the system settings via the Web Configurator, the ZON (Zyxel One Network) utility and
the console port.

This section shows a few examples of using the NSW in various network environments.
1.2.1 Ba c kb o ne Applic a tio n
The NSW is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The NSW can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the NSW’s port or connect other switches to the NSW.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network,
simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
